Death… And Me

Chapter 1225 - Truly Useful

Liana felt speechless as to how the twins and Kentucky just started to push for a breakthrough right there and then. \'Are they crazy? Do they think I can protect them while they\'re at it? First of all, why don\'t you make one breakthrough at a time while the others help defend? Was there a need for all three of you to try it at the same time?\' She didn\'t know about the connection between the twins, Celis, and Kentucky, so it was indeed a valid question. It\'s just that they didn\'t hear it anymore.

Liana sighed after a while before taking her weapon out. \'I\'ll try to do what I can, but don\'t blame me if I decide to leave you later.\'

The Saint Realm was there to prepare one\'s body for its own transformation. During the Soul Transformation Realm, the soul would change according to one\'s selected path until it consolidated at the Peak Stage. The twins were slightly far from achieving that, though. After all, they were trying for a breakthrough ahead of time.

The Saint Realm\'s stages were used to get one\'s body to resonate with the elements of nature. To be more specific, this was what prepared the body to receive the catalyst necessary for the breakthrough to the Elemental Transformation Realm. Obviously, the elements that Rean and Roan would resonate with the most were Light and Darkness.

Other than that, there were extra perks. The increase in one\'s dantian size and Divine Energy storage, the strengthening of the soul, and the perception of the elements. All of that accompanied the breakthrough... or so it normally should. In the twins\' cases, however, their bodies had already reached the peak of control towards the Light and Dark Element. The resonance only served to help them with the next realm\'s breakthrough as their elemental perception couldn\'t get any better than that. That being said, they would benefit more from the increase in storage and dantian size.

Divine Energy poured into their bodies as they changed in accordance with the Soul Gem System\'s cultivation manual. They could feel how their bodies seemed to accept the elements they were inclined to easier, even though their controls and perception were at the max level. It was then that they understood. Inside their dantian, other than the change in size, something that looked like an empty area began to take form. It was located right in the middle of the dantian, taking place inside of the twins\' tenth pillars, the pillars from breaking through the Foundation Establishment Realm.

\'That\'s where the catalysts for breaking through to the Elemental Transformation Realm will be used,\' they thought. They were right as well. Just as Kihin mentioned, using materials to refine one\'s body was completely different from breaking through to the Elemental Transformation Realm. The Body Cultivation Technique shouldn\'t even be put together with it.

Kentucky was a demon beast, so he didn\'t have to think about all those complicated things. For him and Celis, as long as they had enough Divine Energy, that\'s all they needed.

Liana saw a ghost heading their way and immediately acted. The twins had just started their breakthroughs a few minutes ago, so she knew it would take much longer until they were finished. Well, that was considering they wouldn\'t fail halfway. However, just as she was about to destroy that ghost, she felt a huge burst of Divine Energy coming from the twins and Kentucky.

She looked behind and saw how the twins and Kentucky\'s cultivations began to spike. The Rank Two Divine Stones around them broke one after another, which was even more shocking. During her own breakthrough, she didn\'t need that much Divine Energy. No one did. \'Just where is all that Divine Energy heading towards?\'

Naturally, it was the twins\' perk. Their dantians had always been able to store around three times more Divine Energy, and that wouldn\'t be different during the Saint Realm. That\'s why the difference in Divine Energy absorption between her and the twins was so huge. Even Kentucky wasn\'t much different.

While Liana fought the ghost, the twins and Kentucky\'s cultivations finally stabilized. They were now a pair of Initial Stage Saints and an Initial Stage Seven Demon Beast, respectively.

Rean then got up and stretched a bit. "Phew... it feels so different." He then raised his hand and brought out his Divine Energy. "I can control so much more Divine Energy at once now. Hehe, I believe I can put an even fight against Late Stage Saints from the Sacred Land now."

Roan got up and nodded, saying, "True. If we use our Elemental Exchange, it should be possible to fight ones at the Peak Stage as well."

Roan then warned Rean and Kentucky. "However, I don\'t want either of you to cultivate for the next three months. We forced this breakthrough into the Saint Realm, so our dantians and cores were not ready. They feel quite unstable because of it."

"Yes, sir!" Rean and Kentucky immediately agreed with Roan.

Liana, who had finally gotten rid of the ghost, couldn\'t help but look at the twins and Kentucky as if they were monsters. "Just how the hell did you three break through that quickly? Also, how come you can absorb so much Divine Energy? That\'s too much of an exaggeration!"

Rean shrugged his shoulders in response, saying, "Is that so? In our Turin Region, this is pretty average." Once again, Rean pulled the bullshit region card. \'This fake story is truly useful....\' he thought.
